The greatest challenge facing embedded system developers is debugging software. Embedded systems have become highly complex, running real-time operating systems, connectivity stacks, USB, and security ...

Debugging embedded designs is becoming increasingly difficult as the number of observed and possible interactions between hardware and software continue to grow, and as more features are crammed into ...

You can use Linux and still employ a methodology that includes all of the different phases of the ever-critical debugging process. A growing number of embedded developers are experimenting with the ...

In this four part series Abhik Roychoudhury, author of Embedded Systems and software validation,, explains why it is important for embedded developers to learn about new techniques for assessing ...

Tools for debugging embedded systems range from software monitors and simulators, which are independent of the hardware under development, to custom silicon for in-circuit emulation, which replaces ...

If you write code for Linux systems, chances are you will have used the venerable GNU Debugger (GDB). Acting as a back end for many GUIs and the interface to various JTAG debugging tools in the ...

The complexity associated with the development of embedded systems is increasing rapidly. For instance, it is estimated that the average complexity of software projects in the automotive industry has ...

Technology people are generally familiar with the Open SystemsInterconnection model for computer networks and protocols, oftenreferred to as the OSIReference Model (ISO 7498)[1].The Basic Reference ...

As a debugger, GDB is a veritable Swiss Army knife. And just like exploring all of the non-obvious uses of a those knives, your initial response to the scope of GDB’s feature set is likely to be one ...

Many reasons exist why Linux is a good operating system for embedded applications. Besides being open source and cost effective, one of the most important reasons is portability; a Linux application ...
